Is lion compatable with parallels desktop ?

are there any issues with running parallels desktop on lion ?

I am still using version 5, but I had to download a so-called "launcher", as it was advised in some forums (like with many others, Parallels 5 didn't work in the beginning for me under Lion). I believe that's just a bug from the Parallels team, probably there will be an official patch as well within the next few days.
What Lion-specific features offers Parallels 6? Is there full screen support and auto-save like for other Lion apps? Version 5 is fine for me, but would be cool to have it "lionized".

  • Is  mountain lion compatible with parallels desktop 5 for Mac?

    I currently have Mac OS X. 6 snow leopard and want to upgrade to the latest version of Lion.  But I use Parallels desktop 5 for Mac.  Will this be compatible?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Only Parallels Desktop 7 and newer are supported on OS X Mountain Lion. Update Parallels Desktop before upgrading to Mountain Lion. Make a backup of your data with Time Machine and check that your applications are compatible > http://www.roaringapps.com

    You need the latest version of Parallels.  Log into your account on their website, go to the downloads page, then click the "already have an activation code" link.  Click on the link in the email message they send to you to get the latest version.

  • Will virtual XP mode work with Windows 7 installed with Parallels Desktop 5

    I've just installed Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro with Parallels Desktop 5. I've installed the necessary software for virtual XP mode but can't get it to work.....like running a virtual mode within a virtual mode. Just wondering if anyone has been able to make this work. I've read it will work by installing Windows 7 through Bootcamp but it would be more convenient if I could get it to run through Parallels.
    Here's what I have:
    MacBook Pro 13"
    2.56GHz processor
    4G memory

    I suggest you post your question on the Parallels forum, as it's their software you're having issues with and it is not related to Macs or any compatibility issues between Mac OS and Windows, which is the focus of this forum:

  • Are there any known issues upgrading to 10.8.3 from 10.7.5 with Parallels Desktop already installed in 10.7.5?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Most of the applications compatible with Lion are also compatible with Mountain Lion, so you shouldn't have any problem. Mountain Lion supports the latest update for Parallels 7 and 8, so if you haven't got one of these versions, you should upgrade it before upgrading Mac OS X. That application uses extensions, so it may cause kernel panics

    It was as simple and painless as can be to upgrade PD5 to PD6.  There was no time spend accept downloading and running the install package.  A very solid piece of software in my experience.

  • How to change 'always open with' file settings with parallels desktop 4?

    Hi all.
    here's my problem; parallels desktop 4 has hijacked file association on some of my file types and wont let me change them back to their mac equivilants
    Accidentally clicking on one of these parallels associated apps causes the virtual machine to boot up, slowing my pc down dramatically and causing me grief.
    Setting certain files to 'always open with' the equivilant mac app [eg. trying to get text documents to open with textedit as oppose to xp's notepad, hasn'thelped]
    any suggestions ? - i am stumped
    Thanks!

    Delete Windows Applications folder in Virtual Machine folder (it's from Mac Side); disable Shared Applications from Configuration Editor.
    ---or---
    ...other permanent solution to try on Mac side
    1 select a file in your finder (e.g. .doc)
    2 press <cmd>
    3 go to 'open with' option...
    4 select the correct application (e.g. Microsoft Word)
    5 click 'change all' - done...go try
    When Microsoft Word is already selected, change that to another app, click 'change all', then set it back to Microsoft Word again and once more click 'change all'.
    If still no joy, try strong language....

  • HT3986 Windows on MacBook with Parallels Desktop 7

    I need to install Windows on a MacBook 13" 5.1 bought May 2009. Operating system Mac OS X 10.5.8. Processor 2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Memory 2GB 1067 Mhz DDR3. What Windows software do I need to work with this laptop and Parallels Desktop 7?  Does in need to be 32 bit or 64 bit?
    Wouls appreciate any guidance.

    I think you would be able to work with either 32 or 64 bit windows, but you would need to double check with the Parallels support list.
    If you do not already have Parallels, there is also VMware Fusion and VirtualBox (free from Oracle (formally Sun)).
    I would suggest you think about adding more RAM, as running a VM can be very memory hungry.  RAM upgrades are not that expensive.  Check with Crucial.com and MacSales.com as respected Mac RAM vendors.

  • Wee Problem with Parallels Desktop and the Westmere Mac Pros

    Just got my new Westmere 8-Core Mac Pro last Friday, and spent the last four days in agony.
    I used Migration Assistant to transfer over my accounts from my old Mac Pro, but it crashed hard -- so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of the system. So I decided to do a clean install of all of my programs as well, and the Westmere crashed on the Parallels Desktop installation. And, again, it crashed so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of everything all over again.
    Today, I read a review of the Westmere Mac Pros in Macworld (http://www.macworld.com/article/153704/2010/08/quad8_core_macpro_2010.html?lsrc=top2), and learned:
    We ran into a problem running Parallels on the Westmere-based Mac Pros, so we could not complete the Speedmark 6 suite of tests. When booted into 64-bit mode (as the new Mac Pros do by default) the systems would crash with Parallels installed. Booting into 32-bit mode would allow the systems to start up, but we still couldn’t use Parallels. We eventually tried a complete wipe and reinstall from the Mac Pro’s systems disc and downloaded the very latest version of Parallels to eliminate any other potential problems, and had the same issue. Apple and Parallels are aware of the problem and assure me that Parallels is working diligently on a fix. The application worked just fine on the new quad-core Mac Pro with the Nehalem processor.
    Hoped I saved somebody some time.

    Hi akapod,
    Looks like they may have the fix out.

    Please let me know if it's available and fixes it.

  • Mac Safari fights with Parallels Desktop

    When I have Safari running, and then launch Windows via Parallels Desktop, everything slows to a crawl.
    If I quit either Safari or Parallels Desktop, everything goes back to full speed.
    It seems like some kind of degeneration. I had this problem a while back. I created a new user account on my Mac and started using that and voila, Safari and Parallels  worked fine together again. But over time the problem has crept into my new account.
    Has anybody seen this before? Any ideas?

    I've got 4gb of RAM and only 1gb allocated to the VM.
    However, while trying to solve another problem, this seems to have got fixed as well. I had a problem with Safari not displaying pages correctly, posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18388014#18388014
    Anyway, my Parallels problem has gone away. Go figure.
